i agree with pretender, i've missed out on some of the potentially best possibilities of my life because i've said i'll "do it tomorrow", it's something i wish i could go back and change some day, oh well
If asked about this- I will deny it-
But a cple yrs ago, I took a hammer to a large lets call it "networking device"(similar to a router) and broke it.
But I would agree with what Pretender said-

Oh yeah, also being too quite at times, with people i do not know. And not being to complete tasks, in a normal slow matter, I end up doing everything fast, to get more things done, usually it works out, but then everyone thinks I am Crazy.......
Doing yard work a couple weeks ago without wearing anything on my arms...
I am just now getting over the poison ivy....
I have been careful so far...

Got high before I took my English proficiency test in 9th grade. I didn't answer any of the questions and was stuck in a bogus english class. That's why my english/grammer/spelling is Suck so bad.
<<I killed seventeen people and buried them in my backyard two summers ago. Don't regret it too much, though. >>
God, forgive me... but that made me bust out in laughter!

Yep, the four legged variety. They don't like someone dropping in on them for sure!

I can't narrow it down to just one thing, so here are my top 3
1. When I got my first computer I set it all up but I could not connect to the internet, I kept getting the message about no dial tone. I looked over at my tower and my phone cord was under it and I said well no wonder there is no dial tone, it can't get through the line with the tower on the phone line. I said this in a room full of people!!! I still have not lived it down!
2. Hitting a parked car in the Radio Shack parking lot. The sad thing is it was the only car in the parking lot!
3. Starting smoking again after I had quit.

Lost my temper and locked up all four brakes on four wheeler while going at about 30mph. Bent the back rack in half as it contacted my spine. Consider that pretty much the luckiest day of my life, only fractured some vertabrae.
Second stupidest thing would be agreeing to look at a really cool computer Killbat said he had in his back yard....barely escaped with my life...

1) Nashoba Valley, MA... it was the first ski lesson in my entire life. I got lost following my lesson group. Assuming they went to the top of the mountain, I took the lift thinking I could catch up
with them there. Unfortunately that's not where they were, so there I was... stuck on top of a mountain, never skiied before ever, with no idea how to get down. I had to be escorted down the mountain with the ski patrol in toboggans. To make it worse, when I finally caught up with my group, I found my ski instructor was this really hot Korean guy but I had no chance of hitting on him after my embarassing incident!
2) My sister and I have a love/hate relationship. There was this one time, I was furious with her because she refused to wait for me to give me a ride to campus. I pleaded with her to wait until I got off the phone with my bf. By the time I got off the phone, I discovered she was pulling out of the driveway. I ran out to intercept her, screaming madly and ending up leaping on the car and breaking the antenna off. That of course just made her more angry and she drove off. I can't remember when I ended up getting off the car. It was an experience worthy of Springer. So now I drive the same car and I can't listen to any stations 'cause of what I did and I don't bother getting a new antenna. Oh well.
I assure you there are plenty more than this but that's all i can think of at the moment. I have a tendency to be impulsive and klutzy at times!

Drove into a parked car while parallel parking.
How about hitting the tree in front of my parents' house when I first began to learn to drive (very first time behind the wheel - didn't know how far to turn the steering wheel to get into the driveway. I missed...)
Definitely the most embarrassing was when I was tagged for speeding while in high school. The radar was set just outside of my subdivision entrance; the chase car caught up with me as I parked the car in front of my parents' house.
I've never lived that one down. It got revived in a big way when son-&-heir first got his license; my in-laws (his grandparents) still live there, just up the street from where I lived, and they made durned certain that he knew all the gory details...

How about locking my keys inside my car while it was running, thus leaving me locked out and out of gas in the middle of nowhere.
putting that 4 wheeler into neutral while on about a 45 degree hill and about 100 feet up. Can you say concussion and surgery. I did.
I could write an entire page listing of all the things I did where I got shocked, irradiated, (that means being exposed to radiation--both ionising and non ionising--not irritated! ) and sprayed with chemicals.
I remember an instance where I was on a ten foot ladder with a Milwaukee Right Angle Drill (VERY high torque) drilling a hole through a thick oak joist. There was a pipe behind it and I was using a Greenlee (auger style) boring bit. Even turning the drill on and off (no variable speed on the real man's drills!) I couldn't manage to stop the bit from poking through and digging into the pipe! I didn't see water so I backed the drill out. Big mistake! Water shot everywhere and I was holding the drill and guess what happened next? Yep I felt the tingling get stronger so I leaped off the ladder while dropping the drill. Everything (my tool bucket full of stuff) and the ladder and the drill fell right behind me. Just as I hit the floor I was being rained on with tools, screws, you name it! Then the drill fell next to me and of course I picked it up (the floor had about 1/4" of water at this time) and I got it again!. Needless to say I wasn't too happy at that point. Computer work is so much safer
